What happened to Isaiah Simmons?

[juza76]

He was all over the place, and he looked like he was having fun.

Yes he gives hope in a hopeless defense

 

[juza76]

10 tackles 9 solo
2 tackle for a loss, 1 sack, 1 pass deflected
Still didn't play all the snaps

 

[Cheesebeef]

Kid’s coming. I’m excited.

 

[iLLmatiC]

When this guy gets his confidence out there with consistency he's going to be a monster... A couple of those tackles he made with aggressiveness that we haven't seen since dwash. Great to watch.

Loved watching him push Lockett out of bounds like a little kid.

 

[KYCardFan]

He’s coming on strong

 

[Dayman]

Watching him play next to Hicks makes Hicks look like an 80-year-old. I forgot what it was like to have a linebacker with speed.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Starting to see what we were excited for. Also noticed that he wasn’t needing direction on the field. That’s a really good sign.

He has a nose for the football

Great to see him play so well

We should be seeing him the rest of the season

 

[Carolinacacti]

Simmons and Baker sure no how to tackle. Next year get another one like these two

 

[Garthshort]

That SK is coming into his own as a Draft guy. Took a while, and I can't wait for his next Draft.

 

[82CardsGrad]

He played very well last night. There were however, 3 to 4 running plays where Hyde and Scarborough gashed us for 8,9,10 yards where Simmons was out of position and failed to fill the hole. But he’ll learn... I hope!

 

[GimmedaBall]

We need to give him four games before we start passing judgment. Four games would have been the number of pre-season games he would have played in and learned the system.

Great looking player, future looks bright.

He was out of position but our DL was getting pushed around. It is hard for a LB when your DL is pushed 2-3 yards downfield.

 

[Bkbobo]

I believe Hicks called the plays and once Simmons gets a better grasp of the defense, we will see Simmons more. He is getting better each week.

 

[Russ Smith]

I'm impressed, definitely a different guy now. Has stuff to clean up yes but he was good. He also came fairly close to another pick there was a throw to the TE where you could see he knew it was coming but was a half step late, he clapped his hands after it because he knew he nearly got it.

 

[TaylorSwift]

I was very impressed. He looked like the best player on the Cardinals defense by a fairly wide margin last night.

He plays the run very well and can rush the passer with great effectiveness already.

The pass game just takes time. But its clear as day he has elite potential

 

[az jam]

Just keep him playing. You learn more by being on the field than on the bench.

 

[Chopper0080]

Amazing how players get better the more snaps they play...

 

[BigRedRage]

Dude is big too. It's impressive to have that speed and be one of the longest players on the field.

Gotta improve up front for him. Think run defense will be an issue for him until he gets stronger. However, as athlete he might have been the most impressive player on the field.

 

[jf-08]

Every play that he is in I'm amazed at how big he is. He was like a bullet on some plays and I was amazed at how fast he is. Protect him with a DL and this kid is going to wreak havoc even more.

 

[jmt]

I thought he played great and obviously will get even better.
Simmons should get more snaps each game going forward. That said we need help fast on the D line.
